Underwhelming, Lacked Substance
i like the character of the female lead, Sena. She's smart, poised and elegant but her character was pulled down by the childish outburst and over the top behaviour of her male lead, Laik that irritated me to no end.
The story lacked substance. The male lead was tried by public opinion instead of focusing on the process of investigating and coming out with clear evidence and the push and pull way the case was handled. I liked the way Se Na argued the case but hers was drowned out by all the unnecessary side show of Laik who, more often than not, did not listen to her.
The romance was the most frustrating. Both Sena and Laik were grown up adults and yet, they approached their romance like a couple of teen-agers just out of puberty. This is one of the weaknesses of Kdramas in that, as modern as the country is, their view of how romance is conducted is still stuck in the 1950s. Of course there are kdrama exceptions like My Name is Kim Sam Soon that, to this day, is till one of my favorites.
